Kubrick
The most comprehensive biography of the creator of 001: A Space Odessey, The Shining, and A Clockwork Orange.
The most comprehensive biography of the creator of 2001: A Space Odessey, The Shining, and A Clockwork Orange.
'Nobody could make a film like Stanley Kubrick.' β Steven Spielberg
Kubrick's interest in observing human folly produced some of the most important works of art of the twentieth century, including 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove, Barry Lyndon, and The Shining.
Based on Kubrick's archive, as well as new interviews with family members and those who worked with him, Kubrick: An Odyssey offers comprehensive, in-depth coverage of Kubrick's personal, public, and working life.
This long-awaited, new biography dispels the myths surrounding the allegedly reclusive director, who spent his career determined to transcend traditional filmmaking.
'Kolker and Abrams have unearthed some superb new facts about the director.' β The Times, 'Book of the Week'
'An authoritative portrait of the director. Filled with striking behind-the-scenes stories and elevated by a keen understanding of Kubrick's style, this is a biography as monumental as its subject.' β Publishers Weekly
'Myths are debunked, and everyone from the Kubrick obsessive to the casual fan will be beguiled.' β Guardian
